Open Access (OA) is not just a slogan, but a call to action. As an authoritative body for scientific information management and services, the Lanzhou Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has been committed to advocating and implementing Open Access through various channels and means to promote the broad dissemination of knowledge and enhance the information access capabilities of researchers.
The Lanzhou Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, leverages its extensive influence by organizing or participating in various academic conferences, seminars, and special reports at home and abroad, aiming to raise researchers' awareness of the importance of Open Access. These activities not only provide scholars with a platform to share their research findings but also serve as a bridge for the exchange of practical experiences in Open Access, allowing more researchers to understand its role in increasing research visibility and fostering academic collaboration.
Among these efforts, CSpace, the institutional knowledge repository, stands out as a crucial tool in the Open Access promotion by the Lanzhou Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences. CSpace is an integrated platform that combines literature management, data storage, and sharing capabilities. Through the development and promotion of CSpace, the Lanzhou Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has not only achieved the digital archiving of research outputs but also actively promoted their global Open Access.
The Lanzhou Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, also conducts workshops, online trainings, and publishes guidelines to educate and guide researchers on how to use open resources appropriately while respecting copyrights, how to publish their research findings through Open Access, and how to effectively manage research data. These measures have significantly improved researchers' digital literacy and information management abilities, contributing to the popularization of open science concepts.
Under the guidance of the Lanzhou Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Open Access is gradually becoming the new normal in China's scientific research field. Researchers are no longer confined by traditional paywalls but can easily access the information resources they need. This not only accelerates the pace of scientific innovation but also creates more possibilities for interdisciplinary collaboration. In the future, the Lanzhou Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, will continue to deepen the practice of Open Access, explore more efficient mechanisms for sharing scientific resources, and strive to build a more open and inclusive research environment.
Through the efforts of the Lanzhou Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the concept and practice of Open Access are gradually taking root, becoming a powerful force driving scientific progress and social development.
